in the hospital,

they planted some kind of, like,

tracking device in your brain.

Really.

Here.

Wear this metal hat.

Um... It will prevent them from

tracking your every move.

Yeah.

Why?

Here.

Also take these.

I got 500 DVDs

of the film in here.

It's all up to you.

Great job.

It's time for me to bounce.

No. No. No.

You just got here. Don't go.

No. Don't go.

Remember... brick wall.

Waterfall.

Don't go.

Come on.

You just got here.

Poof.

No.

N... No.

Jesus H. Christ.

What?

Oh, no.

I had a delicious amount

of food piled up...

and they took it away from me.

Do you gentlemen know

where my friends went?

Your friends?

I don't think you have

friends here, ass clown.

Why you wearing

a garbage can on your head?

I think you're a little lost.

I think you better

get out of here...

with that garbage can

on your head.

I think you fellas may be right.

F*** you.

Are you missing a circus there, friend?

I am Don Peyote!

If you guys can help me out,

I'd really appreciate it.

Get your f***in' hands off that.

Get it out of your mouth.

Spit it out.

Spit it out.

In my...

You f***in' idiot.

I did what you told me to do.

I don't like your face.

I don't like the way you smell.

You smell like sh*t.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You guys are obviously upset.

And I'd... I'd like

to share with you my DVD.

I don't want to see your DVDs.

I want to see you f***in' leave.

We are friends here.

Hey. Hey.

Well, hit him.

Hit him in the face, Ellwood.

Should I hit him?

F*** all, Ellwood.

You may hit me, but I warn you,

this is gonna hurt you

a lot more than it hurts me.

Are you calling me stupid?

Warren took the beating.

He did not fight back.

And in doing so,

he became aware that the cycle had ended,

the cycle of violence,

confusion and self-hatred.

And in this moment, as he reached

rock-bottom with nothing left to lose,

he realized he had

everything to give.

And the goddesses

danced in his heart.

Warren looked in the mirror...

and realized

that his fear was gone.

His doubt was gone.

His longing was gone.

Indeed, Warren was gone.

And all that was left was me.

Don Peyote.

The cosmic drum has been rung.

Time is a wave

and the wave is vibrating.

Faster and faster.

For some of us, it will be

stranger and scarier...

than anything

we've ever seen before.

And for others, it will be

the coolest thing...

that ever happened

in the history of humankind.

I would make a sign.

A sign of enduring peace.

The past is the future

is the past

And I would walk the earth

and carry a message.

A message of unity

will take hold...

and grow in every living mind

and never die.

And this symbol of peace will

spread throughout the world.

Whoa

New York,

L.A.,

Paris,

Africa,

Egypt,

Israel,

Spain,

Nebraska.

It became part of the collective

unconscious overnight.

He performed several miracles.

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

Unfortunately, upon

performing his last one,

the whole idea of it

made him sick.

He disappeared for seven years.

That place looks great.

They finished it.

Finally.

Grady.

Honey, sit down and eat.

Okay? It's gonna get cold.

What's he doing?

He's playing with those flowers.

He's always just playing

with the flowers.

He's completely disconnected.

I think we should have

him see Dr. Gregory.

You're in denial.

I'm not in denial.

As usual.

I'm just saying he needs...

he needs something.

He needs...

He needs help.

He doesn't need any help.

Just to see.

Just to explore what the options are.

Just think about it.

Medication is a possibility.

He's completely

in his own bubble.

He doesn't need medication.

He's fine, honey.

He's playing. He's fine.

He's always playing.

He's an imaginative kid.

Okay?

I know what I'm talking about.

I'm not saying you don't know

what you're talking about.

He seems to be going in

a very strange direction.

He is a little boy.

I understand he's a little boy.

Okay.

Someday he's going to be a grown man...

and I think we both

know what his genes are.

He's creative.

Okay.

He's fun.

He's fine.

I could be so happy

If I just quit being sad

I could be so funny

If I just quit being a drag

I could be so sweet

If I just quit being sour

I could do all these things

Oh, I have the power

I'm gonna see

what tomorrow brings

I'm gonna make it

to the midnight train

I'm gonna see

what tomorrow brings

I'm gonna take it

to the world outside

Whoo

Put your hands together.

So I took off running

I ran

And the good vibe

spread across the land...

and the name Don Peyote became

synonymous with peace and joy.

The hundredth monkey had

finally turned the tide...

just in the nick of time.

And it was truly

an awesome sight to behold.

I don't wanna stand still

I am going out into

I'm going out

to the sweet unknown

I am going out into

I'm going out

to the sweet unknown

Oh, I'm longing to be

Oh, I'm longing to be,

oh, out in the sweet unknown

Oh, I'm longing to be

Oh, I'm longing to be,

oh, out in the sweet unknown

Out in the sweet unknown.

Out in the sweet unknown

Out in the sweet unknown

I had a script come across

this desk two days ago.

A reboot

of the Battleship franchise.

Great role for Dan.

He didn't even want

to talk about it.

"I want to do

another indie film."

Look what I got here.

It's him and a penguin

kinda going...

on a cross-country tr...

You know, you got Dan in a car

on a cross-country trip.

It reads a lot funnier

than I'm saying it,

but it's a very funny role,

so right for Dan.

Just gotta stop

doing this indie sh*t.

Oh, Danny boy.

The pipes are calling.

Just kidding. It's me.

I just saw the movie.

I loved it!
